Shanghai Ballet touring with "Butterfly Lovers"

[dsouthwood]

Not much detail is available yet, but I just learned that the Shanghai Ballet of China will be performing "The Butterfly Lovers" in San Diego Saturday, June 23, 2007. The ballet was apparently created by the Shanghai Ballet company. Their official web site has not been updated recently, so I have not been able to find information about other stops on their tour. I'll keep checking. Here are the links I have so far:

Thanks for posting this. What a great opportunity. Depending on schedules, I might come down for this. I could get in some great San Diego sailing, too! If I do come I'll certainly be in touch for more dimsum.

Carlos,

That would be great, but I can't believe the troupe would come to Southern California and play only one venue. I'll keep looking for more info.
